An Excerpt: "Clairvoyants were occasionally justified by the appearance on sensitive photographic plates of figures seen and described by them as present with the sitter, though invisible to physical sight. It is not possible for an unbiassed judgment to reject intoto the evidence of such occurrences proffered by men of integrity on thestrength of their own experiments, oftentimes repeated. And now we haveinvestigators who turn their attention to the obtaining of images of subtleforms, inventing methods specially designed with the view of reproducing them.Among these, Dr Baraduc seems to have been the most successful, and he haspublished a volume dealing with his investigations and containing reproductionsof the photographs he has obtained. Dr Baraduc states that he is investigatingthe subtle forces by which the soul-defined as the intelligence working betweenthe body and the spirit-expresses itself, by seeking to record its movements bymeans of a needle, its "luminous" but invisible vibrations by impressions onsensitive plates. He shuts out by non-conductors electricity and heat. We canpass over his experiments in Biometry (measurement of life by movements), andglance at those in Iconography-the impressions of invisible waves, regarded byhim as of the nature of light, in which the soul draws its own image. A numberof these photographs represent etheric and magnetic results of physicalphenomena, and these again we may pass over as not bearing on our specialsubject, interesting as they are in themselves."
